The Green Party stands shoulder to shoulder with transgender people in the face of increasing transphobic rhetoric in our society and politics.

60% of the British public agree: our voting system is not fit for purpose.

The upcoming Elections Bill is a chance to fix it.

🚨 BREAKING: Kent County Council is hurtling towards financial oblivion under Reform.

A shocking new council report reveals a projected budget black hole of Β£46.5 million for this year. The Reform Administration has completely lost control of our finances. πŸ”Ά

A Government of cowards.

Rather than tackle inequality - they've gone for pensioners, disabled people and now it's people fleeing war and persecution.

They can't get away with this.

Labour think by being "tough", they will win over Reform voters. They seem blind to the fact they come across as pathetic bullies, and drive away millions of decent, fair minded voters. The lack of morality from Labour is genuinely upsetting, and one of the reasons why I joined the Greens.

Labour didn't think reminding everyone of Enoch Powell's rivers of blood speech was enough, so are now reminding everyone of the literal Nazis stealing people's jewellery.

And you be fair the far right do seem to like it.

We need to obliterate them in the May locals.

Labour is no longer the party of trade unions or the NHS. It's time for unions to stop funding them and for voters to vote Green, to actually support a properly funded and staffed NHS.

NHS staff still earn less than we did in 2010.

The right wing approach now is to put me in a box with an incredibly successful politician who just won a stunning victory.

This is a new low from a govt plumbing the depths of performative cruelty in hopes that the public won’t notice they have no answers to the real issues facing this country

A sensible, humane govt would focus on safe routes to prevent people making dangerous small boat crossings

Whoever proposed this and openly supports it ought not to be a member of the Labour Party, let alone holding any kind of office. Disgusting.

In a world where you can be anything, be kind.

The past year I’ve experienced a lot of kindness, I’ve also experienced a lot of the opposite.

It’s made me realise more than ever that I must continue to be kind.

Short term electability over long term stability. How is this different to the chaos of the last government? Which room are the adults in, exactly?

A Palestinian flag waves through thick smoke or tear gas. Large white text over the image reads β€œEND THE GENOCIDE.” The Green Party logo appears at the bottom of the graphic, along with a small image credit to Hosny Salah.

Today we mark Palestinian Independence Day.

Now more than ever, we call for an end to occupation, justice, and a real path to lasting peace.

UK set to limit refugees to temporary stays Shabana Mahmood is expected to say the era of permanent protection for refugees is over, in major changes to the UK's asylum and immigration system.

I came to this country as a child refugee. No English, no certainty, no idea what my life could become. Britain gave me refuge.

Not on a timer, not with conditions attached, but with a chance to grow roots.

If we accept someone is a genuine refugee and they build a life here, perhaps have children born here, what is the advantage to us of expelling them once we’ve persuaded ourselves that their country of origin is safe?

There's lots you can and should criticise the BBC for.

But it's our BBC - and it's important.

Great to speak to CNN - Donald Trump shouldn't have his hands anywhere near our public services.

All the interviewers are saying the same thing - Zach is honest, straight talking and refreshing.

Conviction, sincerity and an unwavering focus on inequality?

Bold politics indeed! πŸ’š

The far-right are desperate to destroy Polanski not because they're afraid their supporters will vote Green, but because they're terrified of Greens being invited onto more talk shows where they'll expose Reform lies. (Something Labour hasn't been bothering to do for at least 9 years.)
